You’ve Just Worked 15 Hours. It’s Late. What Are You Eating?

“Chung Fu” started a thread a couple of months ago on Vancouver’s own Chef’s Table Talk professional restaurant forum with the subtitle “You’ve Just Worked 15 Hours. It’s Late. What Are You Eating?”. It’s a good question, and some of the answers are freak nasty. Today, however, I expanded the topic to include things that we’d like to eat, starting with the $10 Sandwich of Doom at San Francisco’s Cabana, just profiled by Anthony Bourdain in the show “No Reservations”.

Laughing Squid provides the ingredients and requisite food porn after the leap…

This $10 monster, “as big as Giada De Laurentiis’ head” serves two people for at least 48 hours. I stopped by the That’s It Market this Saturday afternoon, took one home, and discovered that it is all one could expect and more. Packed with ham, cheese, mayonnaise, chorizo, chicken, pickled peppers, sour cream, fried egg, milanesa, avocado, and garnished with hot dog slices it is a work of art that simultaneously appetizes and horrifies. Here’s a photo of the half that I couldn’t eat and saved for later, with a quarter on the left for scale.

Wow. I’m gonna try and make one. Right. Freakin’. Now. Visit (and join) Chefs Table Talk here, and let us know what you’re chowing down on, too.
